Flutter - Codemagic - IOS build fail

Question

I'm trying to build an app for IOS made with Flutter.

I have no mac device to do the job so I'm trying to generate my IPA file from codemagic.io .

I created an account for Apple Developer Program and paid the bill.

I followed the instructions for using Codemagic, including instructions for iOS code signing : https://docs.codemagic.io/code-signing/ios-code-signing/ .

I created a repository on GitHub and generated a configuration file (codemagic.yaml).

So when I try to build my app (release version), I have the following problem:

Failed to build for iOS

I don't understand. Is it a problem with code signing ?

On my Apple Developer Account I can see that a certificate has been generated.

The previous step on Codemagic seems to be ok :

== Fetch code signing files from Apple Developer Portal ==

Automatically detected bundle identifier "fr.remax.franckehrart" from project

Fetch App Store signing files for bundle identifier "fr.remax.franckehrart"

Initializing Apple Developer Portal session with [email protected]

Using Apple Developer Portal team david matoska (HBD2Z7384F) to fetch signing files

Found App ID "fr remax franckehrart" for bundle identifier "fr.remax.franckehrart"

Found code signing certificate "Apple Push Services: fr.remax.franckehrart"
Found code signing certificate "iOS Distribution: david matoska"

Found iOS Distribution provisioning profile "fr remax franckehrart app_store 1597698130"

Can you please help me ?

Solution

So ... It worked :) !!!!!!

I had to change my pubspec.yaml file.

I took the 0.4.0 version of Neumorphic (versus 0.3.2 version).

@Captivity , thank you again for your help with the info.plist file.

Bye.

You must show the code from Info.plist file

[David]

Great ! I had a look at the following doc : developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/… .

[David]

Am I supposed to write something like <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance=true</key> or <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance=false</key> in info.plist file ?

[Captivity]

@David You shoul write: <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key> <true/>

[David]

So helpful ! Thank you so much, I will try and tell you. It's my very first trying to build something for iOS.

[Captivity]

Of course you can write value false depending on that you want :) Important is to key have value.

Had the same problem and this fixed my issue
